Haha, funny colonies, wanting reparations! Where are MY reparations, amiright? Seriously, don’t you think the shit that the British empire has stolen, and which you actually still benefit from, already more than make up for it?
These situations aren’t the fucking same:
The current wealth of the British royal family is obviously derived in no small part to slave trading and colonial crimes. The current poverty in the Caribbean can easily be tied to this same history. You can also prove that the ancestors of many people living there were definitely trafficked.
How is this in any way comparable to the Roman occupation? Do you still feel the negative effects of the Roman occupation? Can you find some wealthy family or institution that actually made their money during the Roman occupation? How many of current British citizens can even make somewhat plausible claim that their ancestors suffered under the Roman occupation? And even if they can, this affects them how?
They can have it once our cheques come through the door for the Viking invasions, Normandy conquest, and Roman occupation

Actually, that money goes to the Welsh and other Celtic peoples and ALSO comes from the British Royal Family, who is descended from invaders.
